That's 52 players. They may keep one spot open just in case someone gets hurt, but isn't put on IR. The Lions have done that before, so they can sign a replacement without having to release someone.

I think Michael Williams, Corey Fuller, Brandon Hepburn, Patrick Edwards and Theo Riddick get put on PS. I believe the Lions may decide to keep Shaun Chapas on the roster as the occasional fullback, because Reggie Bush is not a between the tackles runner and seems to do better with a lead blocker in the game. Fauria isn't as good of a blocker as Williams, but he is a far more versatile player and can be used either as an inside TE or as a slot receiver to create mismatches. I think Ronnell Lewis is the odd man out at DE. He's shown little this pre-season, and hasn't done squat on special teams, which is why he was selected. Jonte Green and Chris Greenwood should be as good as gone. Green has been terrible this pre-season and has actually been worse than he was during last season. Greenwood just can't stay healthy, and when healthy hasn't progressed. The Amari Spievey project is finally over (Thank GOD!!), and Kickalicious is getting the boot.
